Hi, beautiful angels. In this video I’m taking you along for a full 24 hours as a mum of four — and honestly, it’s one of the busiest days ever because our little pickle, Annabella, is turning one tomorrow. I’m doing all the last-minute prep for her “one silly goose” first birthday, and I’m keeping it real because every time I think about her being one, I could cry… so I left everything until today for my own mental health. You’ll see me jump straight into homemaking and baking mode: I start bread early so it can rise throughout the day (focaccia first, then sourdough, and later another loaf), and I share my little tip for handling sticky dough—keeping a bowl of water nearby to dip my hands in. I also bake a simple Victoria sponge for Annabella’s DIY cake smash photos and whip up muffins using frozen cherries because I didn’t have blueberries and I refused to run to the shops and get distracted. In between feeding and naps (and a very tired baby who woke at 4am), I make party bits like cupcake toppers, bunting, and a handmade felt birthday crown because homemade just feels so special and sentimental. The day finishes in proper big-family fashion: school pick-up, breastfeeding in the car, dinner on the go, dishes waiting, and me trying to prioritise when there’s only one of me.
